“What Do You Collect?”: User Asked Pandas To Show Their Collections And 50 People Delivered

People just love collecting things, no matter what. And it's really amazing how different each collection is from one another. Some collect stamps, others toys, and others go even further and create their own ideas for a collection.

Which is why I thought it would be interesting to see what Bored Panda community members are collecting, and I wasn't disappointed. Some collections were really bizarre in an awesome way, some collections were more standard, but still very exciting to see. Without a doubt, there's a collection for anything one might conceive of.

Violeta Draseikaitė

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

Yes, I know what you mean. I think when my mother died I realized I can't take any of it with me. And my family will have to deal with it. Idk, could just be the grief talking.
